Answer:

26.3 %

Explanation:

In the given question,

The probability of boys is given that is - 51.3%

Therefore the probability of girls will be = 100- 51.3

                                                                  = 49.7%

The 51.3% probability of boys per thousand individual can be expressed as 513/1000= 0.513 P(B)

The 49.7% probability of girls per thousand individuals can be expressed as 497/1000= 0.497 P(G)

Now to calculate the probability that the first ans second child both are boys

We will fuse formula= P(B) x P(B)

                                 =    0.513 x  0.513

                                  = 0.263

Thus, 26.3 % is correct.

Rna polymerases carry out transcription at much lower rates than dna polymerases carry out replication. Why is greater efficienc
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

DNA polymerase is responsible for the catalysis of the replication of a vast region of DNA and the efficiency/speed of the replication is necessary to complete the replication process swiftly.

Explanation:

The difference between replication and transcription, is that in the replication process the DNA is making more copies of itself and in transcription, the DNA is being copied into RNA. DNA replication occurs in preparation for cell division, and transcription occurs in preparation for protein translation
